Amal is one of the most intelligent, talented, creative and personable people I have ever met. Each episode of her podcast is inspiring and motivating and I always learn something new or gain valuable insight into my own life. Amal’s passion for coaching and her gift for teaching have changed how I view myself and have rekindled my faith in my ability to thrive as an expat, not just survive.

For the big picture stuff AND details

04/22/2021
I found Tandem Nomads when I needed to hear that I was not alone in the frustrations of being an accompanying partner. (Ok, I really needed it 3 years earlier but I was glad to find it when I did!) Through hearing the stories of other expat partners, I realized that my feelings were normal and that there was lot of support out there. As I found my expat footing and slowly moved to building my own business, Amel’s podcast has been there every step of the way. There is content that addresses the bigger picture topics, but also content that gives practical tips on expat life and being a soloprenuer. Amel’s own advice as well as that of her guests is just what I need to navigate life. I recommend Tandem Nomads to all of my expat friends, as well as to anyone looking to find the opportunities in their own challenging employment situations.

Career Transition Support Excellent

04/04/2021
I recently transitioned from working in international schools for over 20 years around the world. Setting up an online, portable educational consultancy business to support mobile students and their families, with a youth empowerment social justice element, was a completely new professional experience for me. Tandem Nomads episodes have, and continue to, provide excellent insight and learning for me navigating a new professional world. And after each episode, I am more empowered and think “I can do this!”. Thank you. A great resource to support and guide anyone wanting to grow a successful portable business and thrive in your expat life.

Dealing with the negative emotions

01/29/2021
Gabriela Encina is both inspirational and empowering! I got from this podcast to welcome all of our emotions, the pleasant as well as the unpleasant ones without any discrimination--each being a dear friends sending us messages we should listen and interpret. Amel is doing an excellent job interviewing. Thanks to both of you.

An excellent podcast to get started and keep going

Amel is an inspiring presence and a smart business person. This is coming from someone who already has an MBA from an elite business school. Her insights are simple yet powerful. She promotes action by way of consistency and positive reinforcement. More importantly, Amel advocates authenticity as a core business value. Her podcast is on the shortlist of those I am subscribed to and listen regularly.

I'm Getting Addicted to Tandem Nomads

07/08/2019
Over the last week, I've listened to at least 10 TN episodes and I came away with something useful and memorable from EVERY one of those. Most recently, 115 on website design was a gamechanger. So many of my website's features were wrong, but it makes so much sense now. So, it's back to the drawing board. My new routine is to listen to an episode once to get a general feel, and then a second time to take notes.Truly! I have a file in my Documents called "Tandem Nomad Notes". Amel, where have you been all my (expat) life?
